This year, as part of our PBIS Program, we are having the students teach the Cool Tools each week. We started with 5th grade, and they have had the opportunity to make signs and create presentations for all the classrooms at Hiawatha. They went into the classrooms in small groups or teams and helped model the positive behaviors that we should have at Hiawatha.
What they don't even realize is, that while they are teaching the Cool Tools, they are also becoming better readers and writers! Writing their posters and scripts, rereading their writing, practicing speaking out loud to whole groups... Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. Literacy is abundant in these activities!
5th grade, you are doing a great job as role models and student leaders! We can't wait to see what the rest of the grades do during their weeks. :)
